The volcano in southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier sends ash into the air just prior to sunset ON Friday, April 16, 2010.  Thick drifts of volcanic ash blanketed parts of rural Iceland on Friday as a vast, invisible plume of grit drifted over Europe, emptying the skies of planes and sending hundreds of thousands in search of hotel rooms, train tickets or rental cars.

The current season is when the spring lambs are born and such young animals are especially susceptible to volcanic ash in their lungs so they must be stored inside. (REUTERS/Lucas Jackson) #

Stormy skies
In the past several months, powerful storms have wreaked havoc in many places, torrential rains in central Europe and parts of China, tornadoes in Australia, Montana and the American Midwest, and strong thunderstorms across the northeast. Now, as Tropical Storm Bonnie makes landfall in Florida and heads into the Gulf of Mexico, oil cleanup is being suspended, and the final "kill" operation is delayed for at least one more week. These storms have been destructive and deadly, but beautiful and awe-inspiring at the same time. Collected here are a handful of photographs of stormy skies, lightning strikes and storm damage from the past several months. (37 photos total)

Η ζωή περίπου 12 εκατομμυρίων ανθρώπων έχει αλλάξει ριζικά μετά τις πρόσφατες πλημμύρες στο Πακιστάν, τις χειρότερες τα τελευταία 80 έτη, σύμφωνα με επίσημη ανακοίνωση από την κυβερνητική Υπηρεσία Εκτάκτων Αναγκών.

Από την ίδια Υπηρεσία ανακοινώθηκε ότι «το πρόβλημα της διανομής ανθρωπιστικής βοήθειας και του κινδύνου εκδήλωσης επιδημιών εστιάζεται γεωγραφικά στο βορειοδυτικό Πακιστάν και συγκεκριμένα στην επαρχία Χίμπερ-Παχτούνκουα, αλλά και στο κεντρικό Πακιστάν, επακριβώς στις επαρχίες του Πεντζάμπ».

Οδυνηρή λεπτομέρεια; Στα 12 εκατομμύρια πλημμυροπαθείς δεν συμπεριλαμβάνονται εκείνοι που ζουν στην επαρχία Σιντχ στο νότιο Πακιστάν, όπως συνάγεται από τις τελευταίες κυβερνητικές ανακοινώσεις στο θέμα των πλημμυρών.

Κίνα: Κατολισθήσεις στην πόλη Ζουτσού της επαρχίας Γκανσού

Νέες κατολισθήσεις έσπειραν και πάλι τον τρόμο στη Νοτιοδυτική Κίνα. Ήδη αγνοούνται 32 άνθρωποι, ενώ από το έντονο φαινόμενο καταστράφηκαν νοσοκομεία στην περιοχή Βεντσουάν, επίκεντρο του σεισμού που προκάλεσε τον θάνατο 87.000 ανθρώπων τον Μάιο του 2008 στην επαρχία Σιτσουάν.

Η σημερινή θα είναι ημέρα πένθους για τα 1.156 θύματα των κατολισθήσεων στην πόλη Ζουτσού της επαρχίας Γκανσού, όπου οι αγνοούμενοι ανέρχονται σε 588.

Από την αρχική εκρήξη του στις 25 Οκτωβρίου, το ηφαιστειο Merapi  στην ινδονησια συνεχίζει να αποβάλλει θερμα αερία και στάχτη σε υψος 5.000 μέτρων στην ατμόσφαιρα, σπέρνει τον όλεθρο στα γύρω χωριά και αγροκτήματα, και διακόπτει τα αεροπορικά ταξίδια - και περισσότεροι από 140 άνθρωποι έχουν σκοτωθεί από τις εκρήξεις κατά τη διάρκεια των τελευταίων δύο εβδομάδων.
Εκατοντάδες χιλιάδες κάτοικοι εκτοπίστηκαν, πολλοί από αυτούς ζουν σε προσωρινά καταλύματα μέχρι η ινδονησιακή κυβέρνηση να μειώσει την υφιστάμενη 20 χιλιόμετρων «ζώνη ασφαλειας », και να τους επιτρέψει σε αυτους και τα ζώα τους να επιστρέψουν.

Ισχυρή σεισμική δόνηση έντασης 6,3 βαθμών της κλίμακας Ρίχτερ, εκδηλώθηκε την Τρίτη, στη δεύτερη μεγαλύτερη πόλη της Νέας Ζηλανδίας, την Κρίσττσερτς, για δεύτερη φορά μέσα σε πέντε μήνες.
Με εκατοντάδες εξακολουθούν να αγνοούνται, και 95 νεκρούς που έχουν ήδη επιβεβαιωθεί , οι διασώστες πασχιζουν για να βρουν επιζώντες στο δεύτερο βράδυ μετά απο ένα καταστροφικό σεισμό που  έπληξε το Christchurch, τη δεύτερη μεγαλύτερη πόλη της Νέας Ζηλανδίας .
Κτίρια κατέρρευσαν στους δρόμους μετά το σεισμό των 6,3 R , και οι  γεωλόγοι εξετάζουν  το ενδεχόμενο να ειναι μετασεισμός σε ένα σεισμό 7,1 που δεν προκάλεσε θύματα, τον Σεπτέμβριο.
Ο Σεισμός της Τρίτης ήταν πιο καταστροφικος και θανάσιμος επειδή το επικεντρο ήταν μόνο έξι μίλια από το κέντρο της πόλης και το χτύπημα ηταν κατά τη διάρκεια μιας εργάσιμης ημέρας.
Η κυβέρνηση έχει κυρηξει μια εθνική κατάσταση έκτακτης ανάγκης.

An energy map provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows the intensity of the tsunami caused by the magnitude 8.9 earthquake which struck Japan on March 11, 2011. A tsunami warning has been issued for the entire Pacific basin except mainland United States and Canada following a huge earthquake that hit Japan on Friday, the U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. The warning includes Hawaii and extends from Mexico down to South American countries on the Pacific, the center said. (NOAA/Tsunami Warning Center/)#

This National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Global bathymetry map image released on March 11, 2011 shows features of the ocean floor depth (or bathymetry) from a NOAA ETOPO-1 dataset. The image shows the entire Western Pacific basin. Notice how abruptly the Japanese islands rise out of the ocean. Other coastal Asian areas have much more gradual slopes. The islands and mountain ranges throughout the ocean, visible in this imagery, also affect the tsunami travel time and speed. In the open ocean, tsunamis can travel at speeds up to 500 mph (800 kph). This momentum is what creates such a destructive force as the wave moves inland. Tsunami waves rolled thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean after a massive earthquake off Japan and washed ashore in Hawaii early March 11, 2011, but the tourist hotspot appeared to escape major damage. As sirens blared and Hawaiian authorities rapidly evacuated low-lying areas, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reported wave changes at Waianae Harbor at around 3:24 a.m. (NOAA/handout)#

This National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) image released on March 11, 2011 shows model runs from the Center for Tsunami Research at the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory showing the expected wave heights of the tsunami as it travels across the Pacific basin. The largest wave heights are expected near the earthquake epicenter off Japan. The wave will decrease in height as it travels across the deep Pacific but grow taller as it nears coastal areas. In general, as the energy of the wave decreases with distance, the near shore heights will also decrease (e.g., coastal Hawaii will not expect heights of that encountered in coastal Japan). Tsunami waves rolled thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean after a massive earthquake off Japan and washed ashore in Hawaii early March 11. (NOAA) #

Wildfire threatens nuclear facility

Η  πυρκαγιά στο Las Conchas στο Νέο Μεξικό εχει εξαπλωθεί επικίνδυνα κοντά στο Los Alamos National Laboratory αυτή την εβδομάδα, προκαλώντας την εκκένωση της πόλης και την παύση της λειτουργίας του εργαστηρίου, το οποίο είναι η έδρα για την αμερικανική στρατιωτική έρευνα.
Το εργαστήριο δημιουργήθηκε κατά τη διάρκεια του Β 'Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου για την ανάπτυξη της πρώτης ατομικής βόμβας για το Manhattan Project και αποθηκες με εξαιρετικά ευαίσθητα υλικά.

Children make up around a quarter of the nearly 800 deaths the United Nations has tallied since July across Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and the Philippines, which have been ravaged by some of the worst flooding in decades. Drownings are a huge unreported epidemic in Southeast Asia, killing an estimated 240,000 children up to 17 years old each year - mostly because the majority of kids in the region simply never learn to swim.

Το πέρασμά του τυφώνα Bopha απο τις  Φιλιππίνες

Ο τυφώνας Bopha , ένας απίστευτα ισχυρός τυφώνας, έχει σκοτώσει εκατοντάδες, προκάλεσε κατολισθήσεις και πλημμύρες και άφησε ανυπολόγιστη καταστροφή στο πέρασμά του στις Φιλιππίνες.
Ο αριθμός των νεκρών ανέρχεται σε πάνω από 500 - ολόκληρες οικογένειες ξεκληρίστηκαν  - πολλοί εξακολουθούν να αγνοούνται.
Τουλάχιστον 200 από τα θύματα έχασαν τη ζωή τους στην Κοιλάδα Κομποστέλα .
Ένα λασπωμένο σκουπιδότοπο που κατέρρευσαν σπίτια και τα δέντρα κόπηκαν από άγριους ​​ανέμους.
300.000 έμειναν άστεγοι με μεγάλη ανάγκη για νερό, τροφή και καταλύματα
